ADJUSTING NEEDLE-THREAD

TENSION

Zig-zag stitching requires iess needle-thread
tension than straight stitching.

Make a test sample with the fabric and thread

you plan to use so that you can adjust the ten­

sion properly. The stitches should lie flat

against the fabric without causing the fabric to

pucker.

If the stitches are not flat and the fabric is
puckered, lower the needle-thread tension by

turning the dial to a lower number.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

Any stitch length setting from 1 to 4 will give
you an open zig-zag stitch.

The higher the number, the more open, or

farther apart your stitches will be.

The area between 0 and 1 on the dial is used
for the adjustment of zig-zag satin stitching, a

series of closely spaced plain zig-zag stitches
that form a smooth, satin-like surface. (Refer to

page 22 for information on satin stitching.)
